2006 Saab 9-3 Sedan Nice Car Black 2.0 Turbo Needs Minor Attention on 2040-cars
Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States
|
2006 Saab 9-3 2.0 Turbo. Automatic transmission. This is a Flood Title vehicle. The repair was done years ago by a reputable dealer. I'm not sure how extensive the repair was but the previous owner had no issues and was happy with the car. I've also enjoyed the car and I haven't been able to find any residual effects of water damage. The under carriage is beautiful, no rust.
With that said, the car is a great looking car, clean and quick. Feels solid and goes down the road nicely. 4 matching Tires are in great shape, it does have a slight shimmy at high highways speeds, not too bad but it's there. The body looks good and shines nicely. The paint has normal nicks and scuffs consistent with the age and mileage. The drivers side rear door is damaged and can be seen in the pictures, although the damage doesn't stand out and can often be overlooked. The interior is Tan leather which is in good shape except the drivers seat shows some wear. I have two new seat covers that come with the car. The trim around the drivers seats needs some attention, it appears to need to be re-attached. It stays on just not tightly. Some of the black trim on a few bezel pieces has peeled off, apparently a common issue. Otherwise the interior is nice and very comfortable. So overall a clean nice driveable car, It's been a daily driver. Looks good and has been dependable but it does need some attention. Needs a state inspection, the right side headlight needs repair, it works but doesn't turn off and the passenger side power window doesn't always work and the auto climate control at times doesn't stay set. These are issues I lived with since they didn't bother me much until I needed the inspection. I took the car to the dealer, they said it needs a CIM module to repair each issue, the window, the light and heater. They said the CIM is a weak part on the 9-3 and controls all of the electrical and should fix all of those problems. The quoted me $500-700 to repair and after that the car is 100% inspectable. I've decided to upgrade to a new car so this one must go. A nice car and if your handy you can have a great car for the price. Pick up in Shavertown PA. $200 Paypal deposit due at the auction end. Cash balance due within 7 days. |

Saab to reintroduce 9-3 SportCombi as Phoenix development continues
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The saga of Saab goes to show that you can't keep a good automaker down. Founded back in 1947 (the same year, incidentally, as Ferrari, TVR and Maserati defector OSCA), Saab split off from its aerospace division, merged with Scania trucks, was subsequently picked up by General Motors, then pawned off onto Spyker before its current Chinese owners brought it back out of bankruptcy. Now under the auspices of National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), Saab has official restarted production of the 9-3 sedan, but what are its plans for the future?
In correspondence with Autoblog, NEVS communications director Mikael Ostlund gave us an idea of what to expect. First of all, NEVS is living up to its name by launching an electric version of the 9-3. As we reported a couple of weeks ago, the 9-3 EV currently is undergoing a pilot launch in the Chinese city of Qingdao (which owns part of NEVS) before being rolled out in other markets around the world. But that's not all NEVS has planned for Saab.
The reborn Swedish automaker also plans to relaunch the 9-3 SportCombi to supplement the 9-3 sedan. The wagon version was part of the second-gen 9-3's rollout in the early 2000s, offering increased cargo space and versatility - particularly vital since GM had seen it fit to replace the previous hatchback bodystyle favored by the brand faithful with a more traditional trunked form to lure new buyers into the fold. Although Ostlund confirmed that NEVS has "the option of adding the convertible" back into the lineup, nut has yet to decide on if and when it will do so.
GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Reuters reports General Motors has dismissed claims by Spyker outlined in a $3 billion lawsuit. Spyker alleged GM deliberately bankrupted Saab by preventing a deal with Chinese investor Zhejiang Youngman Lotus. GM, meanwhile, filed a response with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan saying that as the former owner of Saab, GM had the legal right to approve the deal with Youngman. But Spyker's lawsuit claimed GM's refusal to approve the deal with Youngman stemmed from the fact that the American automaker didn't want to create a competitor in China.
GM has said the issue stemmed more from the fact that it would stop licensing its technology to Saab or stop building vehicles for the manufacturer in the event it was bought by Youngman. Since Saab built its own platform that didn't use any GM tech, Spyker says that argument is meritless.
The lawsuit has Spyker seeking $3 billion in compensatory damages, though that number could swell with interest, punitive damages and legal fees, as well. Victor Muller, Spyker chief executive, has said the lawsuit is being funded by an anonymous third party. That party will share in any settlement. Youngman has refused to comment on whether or not it's footing the legal bill.
NEVS announces 200 layoffs as it says Saab restart will 'take time'
Fri, 26 Sep 2014For a fleeting moment a few weeks ago, the news from Saab-owner National Electric Vehicle Sweden appeared almost positive. The company had its reorganization plan approved (a day after it was denied), and the automaker was actually showing a real, running vehicle, albeit one with a top speed of 75 miles per hour. But those tiny crumbs of potential goodness have been swept away because NEVS has announced layoffs of as many as 200 factory employees in September "due to lack of work."
Workers probably shouldn't get too eager to return to the factory either, because company's "decision to re-start production will be further delayed" by an unspecified amount of time, NEVS says in a press release. To begin assembling cars again, the company needs to find long-term funding and a new majority owner. Those seem like two very steep hurdles for the embattled automaker to clear.
Despite not producing cars since May, NEVS still claims it's negotiating with a new owner, possibly Mahindra, but according to Reuters, the Swedish company owes about 400 million kronor ($56 million) to creditors. According to its layoff announcement, getting rid of these workers is one step in the business' reorganization plan to be presented on October 8. Scroll down to read its full release.
